clouthswrote: ... this season might be a little poor, last season I think was great, many good shows, so hope the best for next and for the remaining shows to be announced

It looks like they've announced all but one of the Showgate series that are available for Spring simulcast, so while I am worried that as we move to sublicenses, there will be too many "Seven English Speaking Country" licenses, we also could get lucky and see Sentai picking up more Latin American streaming rights.

Plus except for Aniplex, we haven't seen any of the other Daisuki licensors, so we have no idea whether there will be a Daisuki effect that makes things better or worse. Really "no idea", since Aniplex is the only member that we've heard from and it was 1 out of 2, 50:50 ... a coin toss, head or tails.

Not getting Saint Seiya for Latin America was the stupidest thing ever. They should have put in more effort, they lost a lot of viewers/subscribers. People are obsessed with that here.

that's true Saint Seiya have a huge fanbase in Latin America, it is more know in Latin America than in the U.S., even the ps3 game was released only in japan some parts of europe and I think 3 countries of Latin America ( Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil) because of its huge fanbase and not in the U.S.

This season's catch is shaping up nicely, 10x better than last season IMO. For the Spring selection of titles, CR have step their game up. Even though there aren't that many good series left to license, I'd say the amount of new subscribers/renewals for this season will have a uptick in sales (for the majority of US sales, not sure about outside of the USA, would depend on streaming). Surprise me CR, pull that trump card out of your sleeve!

No good series left
I need Kimi no Iru Machi and Shingeki no Kyojin

The 2 mangas that I wanted to be animated and they are coming out in the same season

Oh god, I've seen screenshots of the Flowers of Evil anime and it ain't pretty. It looks like they used rotoscoping for the animation (film it live action and then trace over it). The result is really awkward and really doesn't look like anime at all. I'll still give it a shot on Monday but, as a huge fan of the Manga, my expectations have been severely lowered.

I find it weird that while it's obvious the uncensored "Samurai Bride" will be on DVD/Blu-Ray, CR got the uncensored version of Cobra for the Spring '10 simulcasts. I don't care if it's expensive or not, if CR was able to work with the Japanese companies to get that show an uncensored simulcast, why is it that the Japanese companies are so reluctant to give this harem an uncensored simulcast (even the non-fan service heavy shows like Shippuden are get really dark and violent)?
